You see, when she said that the CIA briefers had lied to her, she actually meant that the Bush Administration had lied to her. “We all share great respect for the dedicated men and women of the intelligence community who are deeply committed to the safety and security of the American people. My criticism of [...]

That’s gonna leave a mark. Not only is Leon Panetta the director of the CIA, but he’s a Democrat and political appointee of Barack Obama’s. One can’t exactly claim that he’s driven by partisanship against Pelosi. CIA Director Leon Panetta challenged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s accusations that the agency lied to her, writing a memo [...]

He says that the whole thing is just an attempt at distracting the public (which is apparently why he wanted to continue the distraction by holding hearings), but he refused to back up Madame Speaker’s claims that the CIA lied to Congress. Apparently he’s unwilling to go on record saying that America’s intelligence service lied [...]

Why? Because Speaker Nancy Pelosi — already shown to be a pathological liar — is claiming that the agency told her in 2002 that they hadn’t waterboarded yet when they had. What other evidence of the supposed “law breaking” is there? None. But Pelosi’s Congressional Democratic allies want the CIA to shut up and fast. [...]

The next person to tell me how the GOP has lost ground with the party flip by Arlen Specter gets punched.Specter has always been in it for Specter. He’s willing to abandon claimed principles if it improves his chances of keeping his Senate seat. And he’s prepared to do just that again. On May 5th, [...]

Madame Speaker held a press conference this morning to give her latest spin/lie in regards to the waterboarding issue. It’s now generally acknowledged (even by some of her allies) that she’s a liar who knew torture was ongoing and said nothing. So what will San Fran Nan claim this time? Let’s find out… Under a [...]

Yeah, who would think that the administration might be on the road towards nationalization? I mean, it’s not like Uncle Sam is so micromanaging Chrysler that it’s setting advertising policy. Oh, wait. Chrysler wanted to spend $134 million in advertising over the nine weeks it’s expected to be in bankruptcy — the U.S. Treasury’s auto-industry [...]

A man who claimed to be a multi-tour veteran of the war in Iraq and survivor of the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon — a resume he used to oppose the war and condemn torture — has been exposed as a fraudster and mental patient. The man, claiming to be named “Rick Duncan”, had claimed [...]

It’s actually just one of the revelations from research conducted at Brigham Young University. One sure to make traditional media blood boil is the conclusion by people who follow both the mainstream media and the blogosphere that blogs are more accurate. But anyway: Davis also queried more than 200 journalists to learn how they use [...]

That’s a crude interpretation of his well-thought out article in the Wall Street Journal, but Martin Feldstein (Harvard economist; president and CEO of the National Bureau of Economic Research; chief economic adviser to President Ronald Reagan) basically says just that. Basically, the future is bleak at this point. We’re looking at soaring unemployment, loss of [...]
